Fort
"Hey Cal, look at that!" you said, dragging him to the fairy lights part of the store. "Isn't it pretty?" He nodded, giving you a shy smile. You on the other hand, were grinning like a kid on Christmas morning. There was just something about fairy lights that made you happy and cheerful.
Calum grabbed your hand and slowly started walking away to the cashier's direction so you followed him, occasionally glancing back at the fairy lights because those tiny lights took your breath away.
The next day it was movie night, a tradition you and Calum created together: once a week, one of you would pick a movie and make popcorn and hot chocolate. However, Calum was acting suspicious all through the day, always smirking when you asked him what was going on. He was definitaly up to something, you thought.
"Babe can you make the popcorn and hot cocoa while I set up the dvd and stuff? He asked, getting up and almost rushing you to the kitchen.
"Yeah, sure" you said , standing up from the couch and making your way to the kitchen. Calum had other plans though. He followed you to the kitchen door and then you were in the kitchen, he closed the door and locked it so you couldn't come out.
"What the hell?! Cal? Calum what are you doing? Open the door!" you yelled.
"Nope, I have a surprise for you and this is the only way you'll not interrupt me!" I could tell he was smiling brightly and containing his laughter.
"Ugh, you're such a weirdo" you grunted in frustrating, not being a big fan of surprises because you didn't know how to react to them, basically.
"And you love me" He sang, like a 5-year-old.
"Yeah yeah"
Whilst you waited for all the popcorn to pop, you heard a lot of comotion from the other side of the door. A lot of cursing and grunting and sighing and mainly a lot of sounds as if someone was falling repetitively. That person you imagine being your poor boyfriend, Calum. You couldn't contain your laugher so bursted in laugher to the sound of him cursing again.
"Its not funny!"
"I'm sorry!" you said, laughing even harder.
"Ok this should do it" you heard Cal say. "Ok babe, get ready! I'm gonna open the door but I need you to close your eyes and open them when I say so, okay?" Calum shouted.
"Okay!"
"Close your eyes, are they closed?"
"Yes Calum hurry up! Jeez the suspense!" you said in a sarcastic tone.
You heard the door open and fought the erge to open your eyes. Calum walked up to you, grabbed your hands and then your waist and walked up behind you, still holding your hips. He lead you a bit forward and stopped and squeezed your waist slightly.
"Open your eyes, baby" Calum whispered in your ear and you did what you were told. All you saw were sheets and blankets tangled together and supported by what seemed lamps and furniture.
"No way... you didn't.... did you? Did you build me a blanket fort?" you asked, completely in shock. You loved blanket forts and you had told Calum once about them but never thought he'd remember.
"Why not? C'mon follow me" he chuckled, grabbing your hand and leading you to the entrance he had built.
"Get in" you obliged, trying not to knock a lamp from it's place and destroying it all.
As you carefully entered the tiny tunnel of blankets, you wondered how lucky you were, finding someone like Calum. He was truly amazing.
From the corner of your eye you saw what looked like a fairy light and rushed to the center of the fort, finding tiny fairy lights aligned in a row above the tv and above the pillows used as a bed especially made for cuddles.
"How did you get these fairy lights? When?" you asked Calum, turning around and facing a smiling Calum.
"I saw how much you liked them yesterday so after band practice today, I went to the store and got them for you. Guess it was a good choice." He answered, chuckling. You then attacked him in the biggest hug ever, causing his to fall backwards and pulling you with him. Thankfully, nothing was knocked over. You held his neck and kissed him passionatly and urgently.
"Thank you so much Calum I love it so much i love you so much you're the best god bless your parents for creating you" you said in one whole breath before kissing him again, eventually turning into a make out session.
"Is something burning?" Calum asked, breaking the kiss.
"Shit, the popcorn!" you said, rushing to the kitchen. After a while, you returned to the fort with popcorn and hot cocoa.
"They didn't burn" you breathed out whilst putting everything down and cuddling next to Calum, entertwining your legs together.
"Thank god, because I'm hungry" he said, grabbing the bowl of popcorn you prepared. You then pressed play and "Dear John" started playing. After a good while, Calum needed to re-ajust because his leg was getting numb and while ajusting, he stoped all of a sudden and said "Oh shit". It all fell down.
